The Hedonist

$345.00

The Hedonist opens with neroli and bergamot and then does not apologize for what follows: a jasmine and orange blossom heart of genuine indulgence, the two white florals building on each other until the composition has the quality of a heavily planted terrace in August heat. Rose gives the heart a softer dimension, and the vanilla-benzoin base converts the floral abundance into a warm, skin-close finish that lingers with a quieter version of the opening's exuberance. Ex Nihilo naming something accurately for once.

Why We Carry This

The Hedonist handles the neroli-jasmine-orange blossom combination with a skill that most white floral constructions lack: each note is present at sufficient concentration to matter, and the benzoin base grounds the florals without sweetening them into gourmand territory. A white floral that takes itself seriously.
